Adirondack Regional Chamber of Commerce

• United States
• Non-profit Organizations
• 1 - 100 Employee

• President/CEO

  • Jan 2003 - Jun 2010

  Looking back at my time at the ARCC, my most significant accomplishments are likely to be helping the Glens Falls BID to restore City Park, in downtown Glens Falls, and organizing the business community and public at large to stop a proposed increase in the County's sales tax. I'd like to think that these success and others that I'm not mentioning happened because we focused on getting the right people on the bus first. At the ARCC, I was honored to work with an outstanding group of business leaders who volunteered to serve on our Board of Directors. I also worked closely with an incredibly talented group of professionals who worked with me every day to get things done of benefit to the region's economy and quality of life.



North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce

• United States
• Non-profit Organization Management
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Vice President

  • Apr 1995 - Dec 2002

  As Vice President of the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce, I was predominantly responsible for working on a wide range of advocacy, economic development and tourism marketing related initiatives. We developed the first-in-the-nation chamber led energy aggregation program in 1997 and worked closely with Senate President Tom Birmingham to establish the Workforce Training Fund program. I learned a great deal during my time with this chamber working for David McKeehan, the President, who is a great friend and mentor to this day.
